Desk note. The original wire coverage of the 26 June 2026 Lebanon border package ran on Al Mayadeen rhythm and prediction-market speculation. Monexus did not. We named the provenance of each claim, separated Israeli and Iranian readings of the same evening, and flagged what would constitute primary-source confirmation before declaring the file closed.

Follow the event.
